Preparation: Guidelines, terms of reference

Once you have decided what type of document you are going to develop for your Module 3 assignment, your first task is to assemble all guidelines, templates, terms of reference and other documents you need. Consult with colleagues in your department, and your supervisor, to determine which are the applicable resources for your writing project. Remember to look for specific documents as well as guidelines; for example, you will need to refer to the original proposal if you are writing a project report, or the letter of intent if you are writing a proposal. Identifying these resources at the prewriting stage will save you time and effort.

Document your list of resources and include it with your report as part of your assignment. You can download a blank resource list to fill in by clicking here. Submit your completed list of guidelines and terms of reference to your tutor as one component of Part A of the assignment for this module.
